Bassist/vocalist Martin Leth Andersen reflects on the album, stating, “This release will showcase a natural continuation of what 'A Mother’s Curse' began. The band seeks to refine and push further key elements from the debut - in ways of both aggressiveness and the more atmospheric parts. This follow-up also showcases an array of new details like alternative instrumentation, vocal variations, intros, outros, and a couple of noticeable guest appearances.” Don’t miss the flight of STRYCHNOS... for one may never know how long the underground can contain them.

European Tour Dates Announced Photo by Leah Lothringer Metal Blade Records is pleased to welcome Atlanta, Georgia-based black metal outfit CLOAK to its legendary roster! CLOAK embraces the rebellious and time-tested traditions of heavy metal. Whether it be conjuring the chaotic spirit of Swedish black metal purveyors Watain and Dissection, summoning the deep, dark, and sensual groove of Danzig, or evoking the raw speed and raucous energy of Motörhead, the influence of metal's founding fathers is deep within CLOAK's DNA. CLOAK's charm, however, does not merely lie within its romanticism of the past, but rather is the way each of these genres has shaped the band's own personal identity. Of the band's most recent full-length, the critically lauded Black Flame Eternal, Decibel Magazine wrote, "CLOAK summons the black flames and feeds the fire with hard rock riffs and emits plumes of gothic atmosphere. It's a big, professional, almost cinematic sound that should carry them to bigger venues and opportunities soon." Notes CLOAK of their union with Metal Blade Records, "After meeting the Metal Blade crew on our recent US tour, we knew it was the right move creatively as the respect would go both ways. We're in the very early stages of working on new material in between touring, and who knows where the dark and winding path will lead us this time. All we know is that we have some real hard work ahead of us, as releasing new music on the same label that put out titans like Hell Awaits is not something we take lightly."Comments Metal Blade's Ryan Williams; US A&R, "The decision to sign CLOAK was easy as I think they embody the quintessential essence of what it means to be a heavy metal band on Metal Blade. We are looking forward to many years of their bewitching conjurings!"CLOAK will appear on this year's edition of the Milwaukee Metal Fest next month and recently announced The Holy Dark Over Europe Summer tour. The band comments, "Europe! We've waited years to finally get over there and tour, and it's finally happening. This will be a mixture of festivals and club shows along with Hellripper and High Command. Supporters of the Black Flame come forth as we praise the Holy Darkness."

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec's groovy Canadian death metal force Backstabber announces they will be hitting the road this summer for select show dates across their home province which includes a performance at Festival des Guitares du Monde with Blinded By Faith and Blackguard. Show Dates:​May 10 - Quebec City, QC - Scanner Bistro w/ Azaab, Feast of Flesh - info​May 11 - Trois-Rivieres, QC - La Taverne Royale w/ Pit Striker, Storming Strikes - info​June 1- Rouyn-Noranda, QC - Le QG - Festival des Guitares du Monde w/ Blinded By Faith and Blackguard - info​July 12 - Montreal, QC - Piranha Bar w/ Truent - info​July 13 - Gatineau, QC - Pub Le Notre Dame Backstabber unleashed their latest EP “Patterns of Domination” this past March 2024, after a long silence. Originating as a solo project in 2012, founder Christian Thériault turned Backstabber into a full-fledged band in 2015, driven by a relentless thirst for angry metal and a need for vengeance. They take no prisoners with this new release that is inspired by James Redfield's “The Celestine Prophecy”, which explores four patterns designed to consume someone's attention and energy. Backstabber shares their thoughts on the album and what fans can expect from them: “Each track digs into a specific pattern giving for a wide array of emotions throughout the EP. It can also be felt musically as each song has a very distinct style while the production makes a good wrap up keeping it as a whole. Our music being live-oriented from the start, it makes way for an energetic output. Our shows are well rounded up and fronted accordingly.” The evolution of the band's sound from their previous two releases underscores a departure from the solo origins, with Thériault making room for other members to express themselves more prominently. Thériault leads the charge on guitar and vocals, accompanied by Philippe B. St-Jacques on guitar, Eric Séguin on bass/back vocals, and Keven L.-Hull on drums. As the band's evolution continues, “Patterns of Domination” marks a pivotal moment where the members' contributions shine through, creating a distinct and cohesive musical expression. The tracklist includes the bone-crushing “Harvesting The Weak”, the relentless “Langues Sales”, the haunting “Crawling Through Your Bones”, and the brutal “Snitches Get Stitches”. Backstabber's sound, ranging from old-school death metal riffs to slamming brutal death, promises an intense auditory experience and is recommended for fans of Kataklysm, Lamb of God, and Mors Principium Est. Released on March 15, 2024, “Patterns of Domination” was produced by Backstabber vocalist/guitarist Christian M. Thériault and mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) and can be heard at the following links: Bandcamp - https://backstabbermetal.bandcamp.com​ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/album/16N19XLeZ8vq3aKuTxpmmD​ Music Video - Harvesting the Weak - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on1GBDtDA2Q​ Track Listing:​1.

In the years of 2016-2018, the band’s last line-up - Killjoy, Serge Streltsov, Shawn Slusarek and Jake Arnette - composed and started recording what became their final opus, “Moribundis Grim”. Unfortunately in 2018 Killjoy passed away before finishing the album. In 2022 with the help of special guests and former Necrophagia members - John McEntee from Incantation, Titta Tani (ex Goblin) and Mirai Kawashima from Sigh - the album was finally completed. In a way, it is quite sensational to see another NECROPHAGIA album released at this point in time, meaning 40 years after their first demos were released!  Moribundis Grim by NecrophagiaBorn Of Death by Selfgod Less

Exploring the synergy between heavy metal music and extreme sports reveals a unique cultural fusion, highlighting how both fields intensify the human experience. This comprehensive article examines the intricate ways in which the raw energy and passion of heavy metal music not only complements but enhances the dynamic world of sports.  Through various sections, we’ll explore the distinct areas where these two spheres intersect, from anthems that energize arenas to the personal playlists of athletes, and how this connection permeates aspects like fashion and personal motivation. Emotional Resonance Between Music and Sports Heavy metal and sports both thrive on high levels of intensity that resonate deeply with their audiences. This shared emotional landscape is where fans and athletes find common ground, experiencing peaks of adrenaline and excitement. The aggressive soundscapes of heavy metal music, characterized by loud, powerful guitar riffs and energetic drumming, mirror the physicality and vigor found in sports.  For many athletes, this music genre becomes a vital part of their preparation and performance, offering a psychological edge by enhancing focus and elevating their competitive spirit. Soundtracks That Unify and Energize Sporting events are arenas where music and competition collide spectacularly, with heavy metal often serving as the soundtrack to these gatherings. Iconic tracks like Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” are staples, blaring from speakers to charge the atmosphere and rally the spirits of fans and players alike.  These anthems foster a sense of unity, bringing together diverse groups under the powerful, pulsating rhythms of heavy metal, setting an electrifying tone for the games. Inspiration and Motivation From Heavy Metal The influence of heavy metal music extends into the personal lives of many athletes, who draw inspiration from its energetic beats. Figures like Chris Jericho, a professional wrestler from AEW and the lead singer of Fozzy, seamlessly blend his musical and athletic passions, using heavy metal to fuel his training and performances.  Likewise, MMA fighter Dan Hardy channeled the vigor of heavy metal into his preparation and combat strategies, demonstrating how deeply music can inspire and motivate in sports. Heavy Metal as a Training Soundtrack: Boosting Athletic Performance Across various sports, heavy metal music is a popular choice for training sessions. Its driving rhythms and aggressive lyrics provide an auditory stimulus that helps athletes push through tough workouts.  Weightlifters, bodybuilders, and even endurance athletes like long-distance runners and triathletes, often utilize heavy metal to sustain energy and concentration during their training, finding that this music helps them achieve peak performance and set new personal bests. Heavy Metal and Extreme Sports: Amplifying Risk and Adrenaline Extreme sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and BMX biking naturally align with the intensity of heavy metal music. These high-risk activities are enhanced by the music’s powerful energy, which complements the daring nature of the sports. Events like the X Games often feature live metal bands, underscoring the deep connection between these music and sporting cultures. Influence on Sports Fashion: Aesthetic Synergies The aggressive, rebellious spirit of heavy metal also finds its way into sports fashion, influencing the styles and attire of athletes and fans. This fusion is visible in the prevalence of black leather, band t-shirts, and skull motifs at sporting events.  In combat sports, athletes frequently don attire that features heavy metal band logos or designs that reflect the genre’s distinctive aesthetic, enhancing their persona and connecting with a like-minded audience. The relationship between heavy metal music and extreme sports in North Carolina is not just about shared adrenaline; it’s a cultural fusion that amplifies the spectator experience. Fanatics Sportsbook NC taps into this energy, providing a platform where enthusiasts can not only watch but also participate in the action by betting on outcomes, deepening their connection to the sports they love. A Symphony of Intensity and Passion The interplay between heavy metal and sports illustrates a shared landscape of intensity and passion. This synergy not only enhances the experience for athletes and fans but also fosters a unique cultural intersection.  As heavy metal continues to inspire and motivate, it remains a vital part of the sports world, enriching every game and performance with its powerful sound. Whether at a live event or during a personal workout, the influence of heavy metal in sports is a testament to the profound impact that music can have on performance and community. Less

The musical style has also evolved, shifting from Gothic Rock with a strong tendency towards Neue Deutsche Härte (NDH) to a more moderate, melodic, and mature Gothic Rock sound. The album incorporates elements of medieval rock, alternative rock, and symphonic rock/metal, among others. "Fairytales" takes listeners on a journey through fairyland, starting off with heavy rock beats and guitars before transitioning to a more calm and moderate tone towards the end. Despite these changes, the album retains Cradle of Haze's signature style, with mastermind Thorsten Eligehausen handling all aspects of writing, composition, and recording. As a special surprise, "Fairytales" includes interpretations of songs from the repertoire of the sister project "Inception of Eternity." The album, mixed and mastered in the band's in-house sound lab, will be released via their own label, "darkSIGN-Records." Fans of Gothic Rock won't want to miss out on "Fairytales," a testament to Cradle of Haze's continued evolution and creativity.
